My latest life changing purchase!

One of the few things I really HATE doing and am useless at is cleaning windows. I equally love nice clean windows. So I was incredibly happy when I got back from my trip to the UK a couple of weeks ago and found sparkling glass and a very smug looking Monsieur.
He’s thrown caution to the wind and invested in a robotic window cleaner. I was dubious but it works brilliantly. If you’ve got large expanses of glass I highly recommend you treat yourself to one. It is superb!

I’d have snapped it up if we hadn’t just bought one. These are seriously good so someone reading this should jump at the chance !

Had one a while ago…neat but didnt charge…however time to try again 2nd time lucky I hope.

Now if you were talking electric composters they are a revelation. With the new recycling rules in our commune that has turned out to be a surprisingly good purchase…

What on earth is an electric composter ?!

I was thinking exactly the same

Feed waste in. When full press button it cooks it down to fine granules. Put on garden. Somewhat less smelly than conventional composter in kitchen. Also and more relevant handles meat waste where the official guidance to “compost it” in the garden seems a somewhat crazy idea unless I want foxes and rats raiding the composter outside…

As a lifelong gardener I would say that it’s OK as a mulch but not as a fertiliser as the NPK ratios are all wrong.
Compost is something that is made by worms, microbes, and some physical effort to aerate the mix from time to time. The dried waste from the machine will not start to become compost until AFTER it has been spread onto the soil in the garden.

From what I understand about these composers it is a mix of drying and grinding food waste. So meat would just turn into a tasty dried treat for a passing rat surely?

It turns into something akin to very small coffee granules (though I would not drink it) which I pop on top of the soil as a mulch. No sign of any wild animals coming to eat it happily.
